Yes, there were better uses for wealth than those advocated by Carnegie. For example, in his essay "Wealth," Andrew Carnegie argued that the wealthy should use their money to fund libraries, universities, and other public institutions. However, other prominent figures of the time, such as Jane Addams, argued that the wealthy should use their money to help the poor and disadvantaged. Addams wrote, "The great problem of our age is the proper use of wealth, and the best use of wealth is to help those who are in need." This suggests that there were better uses for wealth than those advocated by Carnegie.
